What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students answer questions about something they read, hear, or view. They choose a specific detail from the source that supports each answer.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students answer a question clearly, then point to a matching word, event, image, or spoken detail. They can explain how that detail supports their answer.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may give an opinion or retell the whole source instead of choosing one useful detail. They may also select a detail that does not match the question.
How to Assess It
- Read a short passage about a child finding a lost dog. Ask, “How do you know the child was helpful? Name one detail from the passage.”

Ways to Teach It
Give students sticky notes to mark one picture or sentence in a shared book that answers a teacher question.
After a read-aloud, ask, “Was the character kind? What happened in the story that supports your answer?”
Play Evidence Match by having students pair question cards with detail cards from a familiar story.
Show a short weather forecast, then ask students what clothing they would wear and which forecast detail supports their choice.
